CORDOBA, ARGENTINA--August 28, 2024--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Brazil continues to be one of the leading countries in Latin America across various sectors and is even considered the country in the region with the best Global Innovation Index. This leadership extends to environmental matters as well, evident in its commitment to sustainable development and its renewed 2030 Agenda presented to the United Nations in July 2024. This program highlights the commitment to addressing climate emergencies, preserving biomes, ensuring a just energy transition, and promoting sustainability over the next six years.

One of the most notable projects in this regard is Braskem's initiative at its petrochemical plant located in Santo André, São Paulo. The company is working on the electrification of the steam cracker furnaces, which play a central role in the production of basic chemicals and require large amounts of energy to convert hydrocarbons into olefins (ethylene) and aromatics.
